HydraBBS door coders wanted
===========================
HydraBBS is a new BBS system written by myself, it offers
unmatched configurablilty for sysops and loads of nice
touches for users.
For HydraBBS to really succeed I need some coders to code some new
doors for HydraBBS, or to port doors from other BBS systems to
HydraBBS.
HydraBBS is really simple for door coders to get to grips with,
it has two shared libries that offer *complete* direct access
to any bit of information about the BBS that you could want,
as well a whole host of *really* handy functions and routines
to make accessing this data a user friendly as possible.
For instance, to get a line of 40 characters of text from the
user, that times out after 10 seconds, and displays a countdown
timer, provides full line editing and command history,and only
allows specific characters, and converts the input to upper case,
and dis-allows OLM's, and prompt the user with a text message,
you'd just do this:
strcpy(N_ND->CharsAllowed,"ABCDE12345-_");
DOOR_GetLine(GL_EDIT | GL_DISPLAY | GL_HISTORY | GL_COUNTDOWN |
GL_USECHARS|GL_CVTUPPER|GL_NOOLM,
'\0',40,10,"Give me some text :");
How cool is that ? Do that in AmiExpress :-) hehe...
Want to tag a file in the current conference ?
DOOR_SystemUser("A",filename);
Want to display an ANSI screen, particular to the current
conference and node, with embedded commands ? No problem:
DOOR_DisplaySpecialScreen("my_special_screen");
Want to display a text file ?
DOOR_DisplayScreen("HBBS:Storage/Misc/MyTextFile.TXT");
It's just great, m8!
*SPECIAL OFFER*

enough quality and give me the source code for release in future
